Sisäsivun pääsisältö

Here you find information on the courses we offer as optional studies along with general descriptions on the contents of each larger module. Even though we have organized all of these studies in larger modules of 15 ECTS (apart from few courses), you can still take each of the courses individually unless otherwise mentioned in the module description.

other virtual studies 2016-2017

During Basics of ERP Systems, which is organized as an online course, we will practice the most common jobs with the SAP ECC system used by over 50 000 companies globally. You will learn to perform the basic purchasing, sales, etc. tasks with the system during this course, while getting to understand why things are done in a certain way as well. Project Management is still a work in progress, and we'll inform you of this course here later on.
